I have a question about using a Label Leverage layout. I use this layout (pin right and slightly above ring, CG in center of palm) to provide more length than my standard layout (4x4 stacked).

My question: what sort of reaction should I expect from this layout on an asymetric ball? This would place the MB to the left of the thumb. Will the ball work or will it just suck? Should I just stick with a symetric ball?

I want to point out again that based on his PAP the mass has to be at least 6" from the PAP to be in the track. He stated that a 5" MB would be in the track....this is not possible.

You're getting very close to that magical number where the ball flares backwards and rolls like turd.

Agreed....based on his PAP he's talking about a MB between 6" and 7" from the PAP. This is dangerously close to ruining the ball's reaction.

Sounds like so confusion. Sounds like pjr300 is referring to 3 3/8 x 5 and referencing the pin and CG. The 5" would put the CG in the grip center. Assuming the pin, CG, and MB are all in alignment, that would put the MB in the track area.

I've always thought that if a ball had a marked MB, the second number in the drilling (ie: 4 x 5) would reference the distance of the MB from PAP.

I don't think everybody is speaking the same language.

Right-o... A 4x5 meaning pin 4" from PAP and CG is 5" from PAP.
